Then I cut 3 ornaments out of craft cardstock and glued them on top of each other using a glue pen. Layering is a great way to make your die-cuts thicker and sturdier... a lot like chipboard.

I just have to shade EVERYTHING. My method of choice, is hands down, airbrushing!! Great for those delicate die cuts!

For even more dimension, I added a layer of Diamond Glaze over the shading. This also deepens the colors on the die-cuts. Allow to dry and wrap twine around your box and attach your embellishment with more twine!!

And presto... no need for wrapping paper!!

I hope you enjoyed my project!!

Loved how you glued the diecuts and air brushed, the glaze really made them so much more like chipboard and added so much of glamour to a plain gift wrap !! This can be used as an ornament by the lucky recipient...
